RED HOT!

Can we not develop a AESA version with Italy which fits into BLOCK II and our BLOCK II and BLOCK I when upgraded to BLOCK II can have AESA radar ?

Hi,

It is not necessary to add aesa to blk 1 & 2 at this time. Aesa is the goal for BLK 3 and up----. It will give the air force a competitive comparison and training between the two.

Collaboration with Selex for AESA is on the cards, for the JF-17, as mentioned by the program director in one of the last AFM articles.
It makes sense to have a system designed and tailored that can retrofit your BLK I and IIs, unless their useful life is less than 10 years.

I just hope, that PAF can get one BVR and one WVR missile from Europe.....will make it a killer.

Yes Yes off course that is not a dream but a reality

What reality, its just rumours, assumptions and wishful thinking

5th Generation Aircraft which is just a Prototype? we know nothing about that Aircraft as of now it won't be coming till 7-10 years to be a reality Till then what do we have?? and yeah will we buy 100's of them? with 150 JF-17 and 70+ F-16 what other options we have?? After 7-10 years F-16 will start ageing just like our Mirages and F-7's rather then 18 F-16 block 52 will US give us more? will we buy 2nd hand jets till then to keep our Squads up?

the Thing is We will need j-10 in future or present rather then just 5th generation

Basically replacement of mirages and F-7 is JF-17 block 2 and 3 not J-10B

I agree we need J-10 B at least and if economy improves massively than also SU-35 or J-11 D in large numbers.

we are replacing 343 Jets (F-7 Mirage III and Mirage 5) with 150-200 JF-17 ?

150-200 JF-17
76 F-16
18 Block 52 F-16 pending from USA (not Confirmed)

what about rest?? 2nd hand jets? 100's of 5th Generation aircraft??

Rumors can be reality who know the Chinese guy posted about S-20 deal about to be signed and Pakistan will get J-10 with Russian Engines by source Watch China Times well we are getting 8 S-20 subs who knows J-10 news also turned out to be true....
